O desenho na Reforma João Pinheiro de 1906 em Minas Gerais

Abstract

This paper work aims to historically investigate drawing as a qualification discipline for primary school teachers and as subject of primary school since João Pinheiro Reform in 1906. This reform established the standards for the group schools in Minas Gerais. The research source is the educational legislation from the late 19 century, namely Benjamin Constant Reform, Mineira Reform in 1898 and João Pinheiro Reform. Two pairs of analyses have been used to develop the mentioned research. They are: elements and rudiments, general formation and professional formation. These concepts are addressed to the drawing purposes in each moment, and in every formation level. We have looked for references concerning the proposed historic production by Marc Bloc, as well as from the inputs based on the history of school subjects of André Chervel, from Julia’s contributions related to school culture. Referring to the mathematics education history, we consulted Wagner Valent due to his importance for debating the concepts of the Mathematics education cultural history. As an overall assessment, we have found in the regulation that portrays the Reform João Pinheiro, some required teachings for Drawing instruction that indicate some utilitarian-practical schooling, which aim the professional formation.
